Evening all,
I reworked this photo and played with the processing.
I was on my lunch break and had to take the train one stop and they were in my train car

Richard can you please move this to "other cool shots". Of all the forums to accidentally put this in! lol

Nice job!

BTW: …so what's wrong with leaving it in this forum, anyway…
Hi Wil,
I meant not for this forum because of the processing, the sepia, the cinemascope, the title. I actually posted this exact same shot as part of a series earlier on PJ. I just wanted to really play with the processing--I thought that was the way to go for this post.
Thanks for commenting and yes the b&w is pretty cool.

Never a dull moment in the subway. I like it.
I agree.
I love the processing on this.

I agree. Street photography should be - in my opinion - an "anything goes" genre since the normal expectations of subject matter and treatment are not a priority. It's not a genre where I expect the people who like it to insist on rules.
I think the sepia treatment adds to the image because it fits the subject matter.

thanks for moving it Richard.
I can't tell you how many times I kick myself for not having my camera in the subway--it's a great show to catch.

This was definately a first--the lady trying to sit properly in her hoop skirt was too funny--I wish I had gotten more of her in the shot. Glad I caught that particular train.
Thanks for commenting.

Thank you Azzaro .

Gracias.
I wanted it to look like a still from a movie.
My favorite thing about this shot is the regular guy in a tie sitting right in the middle of "them"--he's totally not phased.
Thank you for commenting.

Hi Tony,
that's why I went with the sepia tx, but I had my doubts because of the subway and the guy in the tie--so I went with the cinemascope on top of the sepia. Glad it works.
The main reason I didn't want it in "street" is because all of the processing--the discussion then would have revolved around my title and the processing. As opposed to the entire shot as a whole.
Like I said, I did put this shot in PJ amongs others, in my "St. Patrick's Day" post, in pure b&w. So I thought the shot was perfect for Street--but with the PP work, then it just becomes about the PP, on that forum anyway.
Also, it would have been a double post on the same forum .
I'm glad you like it:)
I learn about processing in different styles on this forum, so that's another reason as well.

about titles and processing is an anathema to me. "Street" is all about capturing what most other
photographers don't consider to be legitimate. In "Street" we accept blurry figures, clutter in the
scene, people's backs blocking part of the composition, grainy processing, and over-processed contrast.
Yet, a title that identifies what's in the photo stirs up controversy, and processing in sepia instead of
black and white makes you worry about the acceptance of an interesting and well-composed photograph.
Arrgh.

I'm with you Tony, trust me I get it.
But I'm pretty easy going and follow the unwritten rules on PJ--easier that way.
I get my PP, title and chatting penchant out on this forum:) So glad you guys are here.
